An altcoin that can be mined on a SmartPhone's CPU!!!

[Mt. Gox]

Interesting topic.

Phones and tablets use RISC-based ARM processors. Normal desktop and laptop computers use processors based on the x86 architecture. These are the ones that Intel and AMD make. So in order to produce a coin that is primarily mined using smartphones, you would need to find a way to avoid getting swamped by the superior hash power of x86 CPUs. I'm not sure if such a thing is possible.

Can anyone with some knowledge about mining algorithms and CPU architecture shed some light here?

Also, maybe set CPU usage so phone wont melt

This would need to be implemented too, of course.

Basically buy two phones or tablet one for use and other to mine.

Interesting but this will mine ages for 1 coin.

Yes for dissent smart phone and tablet u can spend ass much ass for some basic mining equipment on pc.

So mining with this would bee waste of time and money.

still a cool concept though! just seems rather difficult to implement thats all

The phone would only mine while connected to an adapter,
e.g. when charging overnight. And overheating would not be an issue
with a PoW dominated by memory latency rather than computation.
